   to find.]
   The exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who is said to have
   cried out "Eureka! eureka!" (I have found it! I have found
   it!), upon suddenly discovering a method of finding out how
   much the gold of King Hiero's crown had been alloyed. Hence,
   an expression of triumph concerning a discovery.
